Shaking my head

Well I am wandering if it will be a cheap day here totally.  And yes I am plotting out in what to do first here for the day.  That is the bad part of it all and I have to deal with it now.  Since I have piles of laundry to get threw at this time also it does not seem like they should be there at all.  Now that I have got the washer started I have at least 4 loads of towles to get done and hung outside here for the day along with other laundry.  So I guess I will be busy for the day here nomatter in what I do.  Since I will be taking my Husband to the truck fairly early for the day I will start cleaning today here instead of tomarrow.  That is one of the nice things here when he leaves out on Sundays the bad part is that the week starts earlier also on me.  Even my Husband made the remark here that he thought that I would go thru the one stack of wood by now when I didn't at all.  Since we have 3 stacks in the driveway here I take off the one pile for the fireplace and use the other stack to help keep the bigger logs going while I have that part going for extra heat.  With alot of the things that I end up doing here to cut the costs for the household some people do not like it at all.  What I think it is here is that I am always finding ways to do things for my place on the cheap and have not told them in what I was doing or did not ask for their oponion on it all.  With that part said here at least I have been and still trying things out around the place.  Some things will not change at all like hanging up the laundry to dry along with turning things off during the week while I am alone in the place also.  That along with cooking on the cheap also for the trailer or the house here has helped out alot while I have been at it all.  That is what has got to some people along with asking for some help when I really needed it and they stood there and watched me pick up something that I was not suppose to do at that point in time.  So now at this point I can go ahead and lift here along with other things going down and I do not have to worry about it anymore.  When I started cooking alot of things from scratch along with buying the cheaper end of things for either place that myself and my Husband were at some people did not like that part of what I was getting done at all.  Now one of the neighbors that gave me greif over the past couple of summers is now realizing here in why I have been hanging the laundry outside here at my place as of last week.  When their dryer went out this past week here all I could do was shake my head and figure that they were gonna get an energy audit.  So with that part the new dryer on their part will help with their power bill totally at their place.  They kind of freaked out when the power bill over here was a quarter in what they had for the past 2 years almost compaired to theirs.  So it all makes me wander in what some are doing still and I will try to keep my bills down here totally.  Anyway since I have started on part of the cleaning already and will wait for the other part I may as well go for my walk here.

Shaking my head

Ok so I am a nickel up for the day already here without even trying at all.  Now I will go out later on to take my walk here after I get a call to come pick some people up here.  Also my Husband seen the hummor in what I did when I was taking him to the truck this morning.  He started laughing and said how the heck can you spot things from 500 feet away around here.  So at this point in time I guess things are looking up here totally now and that is how I like it here.  After the bruttal week that I just had here things better start turning around here totally.  It is just an opinion and a good hope also for the coming days and weeks here totally.  Since alot of things are getting done here and dinner will be fairly cheap here also tonight since it will be chicken for dinner again tonight here along with rice and afew other things.  At least it is food and I have been thinking about some things totally just to streach out in what I have in the freezers totally.  So maybe there is some hope around here to get all of the bills down to almost nothing here again for this year period without some people coming over.  Maybe that is what has worried acouple of people since I have not called them at all to come over to the house at all now.  So at this point since I will get some of the things done here for tomarrow before, during, and after I drop my Husband off at the truck again here.  Ok so I will throw several loads of laundry into the washer and hang it out tomarrow here since it will be nice outside.  As I told the one guy that I talked to on Thursday here throw in a load in the morning and when you come home throw it in the dryer or on the drying racks one.  He about fell out of the chair and said oh my I read that off of one of the blogs that my wife reads all of the time and gave the name here.  I told him it was me who does that and have fun.  So now at this point in time since I have switched everything over to the cheaper end of things out on the market it is not going to bad around here also.  With the cleaners some do not work as well at all when they want an arm and the leg for the product.  That is what gets to me at this point in time totally here still to this day.  So that is why I went to the cheaper things here to clean with since it seems they work better for my place.  Alot of time some people are very strict on the frugal part of things that it is their way or no way at all.  I am not saying what is right or wrong here all I know is what works for me here for the palce that I am at now.  Ok so I do not watch alot of T.V. during the day here and I am off of the computer also.  Everything gets turned off and the power cut at the breaker bar for at least 5 days a week some times 6 it depends on what is going on in the household at the time.  It goes along with hanging laundry also, is it for everyone no it is not.  All I can say is what really works for me here to get things lower for the place.  Just like I do not mind running the fire place here during the winter months since it gets so flapping cold out.  It puts heat out into the main floor here and saves on the gas bill also.  I am still trying to save up for another wood burner here for the household and that is how it goes.  One that will do better than the fireplace but then that is me here totally also.  It is like with the food budget also here not everyone will agree in what I do for myown place and that is fine by me here.  I may not agree with someone else niether here and that is what makes the world go round also still here to this day.  Some may not agree with what I do and that is fine also it goes both ways since I hate to use some things here in the household totally. 

Not getting it

Well at this point in time I had to switch some things to another company for the cell phones here.  The one company did not get it at all here that ya can double charge someone then put something in place without the aurtherization from the person also with the account.  Now at this point here I am on the 3rd company for the phones in a year.  Not only that I do not like to be screwed at all.  With AT&T they told me the bill would be 230 a month and that never happened at all.  At this point I was told by 4 different people when I called up to Verison here that it would be 230 and no add ons without someone going in and making changes since of AT&T then and I am fine with that part.  Anyway things are getting cheaper nomatter what is going on here weather some people like it or not here out of me.  So at this point in time here at least I can say that I am also trying to get more done also on that part.  Alot of things are a far cry from what others may say totally now days.  What is going on at this time is that alot of us are getting broker and no end in site at all on alot of things.  I guess this is why I do not mind getting the cheaper things for the household and turning alot of the power off during the day here now.  Since I have started alot of not using the dryer, turning things off when they are not in use, and shopping for cheaper groceries for the trailer along with the house also it seemed wierd at first and we got use to it after awhile.  That is what hurt everyone that came over to either place after awhile also when they all found out in what I was doing.  Another thing that I have noticed with hanging the laundry either here in the house or outside is that some of the neighbors had a problem with it untill they realized that I hid some things out on the lines period nomatter what.  Or they just did not get out at all and I kept them inside.  So after all said and done here for the place it would be shocking to some and to others they do not mind what so ever at all in what I do here.  Even the middle child one one side of me is finally realizing in why I went to the places like Save A Lot along with other places to save money for the household.  Now also since I will have the fire place going when it is colder outside and yes it is that time of year again to where days it will be going nomatter what here.  It is one of the money savers that I can do for the place to not have the gas going all of the time here also.  So there are ways to save money without even blinking an eye at it all.  I guess what gets to me the most here is that since things have calmed down over the past 10 months somewhat here for the place it seems like some of the bills went down without even trying.  With that being said the dryer is not going constantly on one weekend a month here along with light are not going all weekend also in the place also now.  What has got to me the most also for the place is that nobody is cutting me down for things like the Ajax dish soap and what I make for dinner.  So it makes me wander in what some think at this time since I had switched alot of things over here for the house totally after I gave it much thought also after the surgery.  So now I have a feeling that I will be getting to alot of the laundry today while I am at it and think of other ways to start cutting down the bills here in the household.

Shaking my head

Well at least I know now in what is going on.  With alot of things going down here and I am really not happy with some companies nor some people at this time here it never really shocks me in what goes on here at all.  As I told some again yesterday here come get your stuff then since I can deal without the T.V. and net.  Like it is gonna hurt me any here going without that part of things.  That is when I start walking down the street to get the internet and go from there to work.  So now at this point some people just do not get some things at all and I can laugh also about things.  Also at this time since I can get another company for the T.V. and the net here for the place for alot cheaper now it amazes me in how I let that part slip threw my fingers totally.  Pluss on top of it all yesterday here I got nailed on some things that I did not even know about at all.  I told the person that since I do not get the paper at all still here how was I suppose to know anything that was going down.  So now all I can say for the person who started the lies back up go for it since I have not talked to the person in about 3 years here anyway.  Now at this point I will be doing what I need to and ignoring some people as I normally do along with doing what I have to do for myself.  With that being said I have to worry about the household here more than anything and work to get that part cheaper than dog snot.  I may as well here since I have a good head start with that part of things already here.  All I can do is keep up with myself and that is it.  I started alot of this in the trailer and will keep it all going here and then some now for the household.  This is what has got to alot of people at this time and oh well on the people who do not like in what I do now.  Since I hang laundry up to dry, try to cook from the cheap side, and turn off alot of things for the household still it is a good thing for the place that I am in now.  There is just alot of things that get done that I am not saying about also here in the household at this time.  So now at this time here I better get started on some things here and see where I land up for the rest of the day.

I want off of the ride

Well I want off of the ride that we are on right about now here.  With the Obama's it was not good the first 4 years and now we are just plain out screwed totally.  I guess things will have to be thought over yet again in my place so I do not have to rearange the furniture out on the street.  And here I guess the vote does not matter at all since it is the elctorial votes are the ones that do count in the states at this time still.  So with alot of things here I guess that I will leave everything off for longer periods of time here and use the fire place alot more for the place this year here.  I guess that goes along with using alot more bleach for cleaning here also while I am at it all for the household.  Ok so there is alot of things that I can get cheaper at and go from there.  Also since I still have alot of work for getting alot cheaper here for the place without a question at this time.  I am starting that part totally as of today here.  Once I think of it all here at least I can say that in the parts that I have done already is a huge help at this time.  Now to get all of the bills set for the next 4 years of total Hell.  Maybe myself and my Husband can get this done here for the place and make it work like a charm also.  At this point in time the changes start here today for the house and I will be pulling some things out that I use to do at the trailer.  May as well break alot of the things out again since I have fell behind in alot of things here over the past almost 2 years here.  So now here since I am thinking about things here for the household it will work out totally yet again.  Also I will be hitting the free sample bords yet again for the place to help out on that part of things to save money.  It will drive the mail guys nuts when they start bringing the mail here for the place and oh well on that part of things after this election.  At least I will be able to use the samples also for everything again like I use to.  I was watching somewhat lastnight here the extream cheap shows here after I got home and some had good ideas for things that I had forgot about totally here that I have done.  The funny thing about it here is that I had enough ketchup packets at one time at the trailer to fill the one bottle 3 times at one point.  I still laugh about that to this day here.  Now at this point in time there are I just have to figure out in how to get things alot cheaper to run the house again and pull out the old tricks that I had done.  It also means that I will be having more rags for the place to clean floors with here along with other things also.

Bad day all around

Well I had a bad day all the way around yesterday here and today is another day.  At this point in time I am getting screwed by the phone company again and I do not like it at all.  When the guy told me about 230 dollars a month for both cell phones here totally and it has not dropped at all below 300 dollars at this time here there is a problem totally.  It was not how I wanted to start with a bill and even my poor neighbor about had a stroke here when he seen the bill.  Since I do not mind someone opening my mail by mistake at all here I can only see his face on that one.  After getting prices here and 2 people in 2 different places here telling us turn this off and turn this off if ya do not want the roaming charges anymore.  The place that I am at now told us straight out to keep the things we turned off here on and things will be ok not telling us at 150 dollars worth of extra charges.  So now here since we got the run around here totally for the past 4 months here some people are looking better and better for the price.  In the area that I am in right now here there are times where I am going off of the Canadian towers totally.  It depends on where in the city that I am along with the weather conditions also for the day.  I do not mind the Rodgers cell phone company at all since they gave me some info also and even with both tax bases here that Canada has it is at least 200 dollars cheaper than what the bill is now.  Also the one company that I went to will take our old cell phones and give us credit for them totally.  That is the biggest thing along with about 100 dollars less that where I am at.  So now at this point in time here I can say that thank goodness I am thinking here totally on alot of things and I am figuring out the cheapest way to go at this time also while I am at it all.  One is the cell phones the other is going to be the cable company here for the next call also while I am at it all.  Another thing here is that since I am getting things done on the cheap end.  Since I am getting back into coupons here still and it is a slow process at this time it will work to help cut down on alot of the grocery and cleaning bills here for the household.  There is alot to be done here still for cutting down on things and cutting on the bills that it is not funny at all now.  With that being said this is why I told my Husband to start turning things off here and he finally got the point last night after the phone bill the poor man is getting it slowly in why I am doing alot of things they way I am doing all of them during the week here.  Also there are alot more ways that I will be getting cheaper here and thank goodness there is bleach in the household also at this time for some areas of the household.  So yes I am still working on alot of things here for my place and will get it all figured out.  Now to start thinking again here and to get some things done while I am at it all for the place.

Half the battle here

Well at least I know what the battle has been here in the household totally and I am winning that part of things at this time.  Since alot of things have kicked me here in the past couple of weeks I will be ok here totally.  At this point I know what to do to get the place cheaper and it will get done totally even if it kills me to do so here.  When some people are not coming over at all here now it has got alot better with the bills falling totally.  They are about ready to fall that much lower also since I have noticed alot of things here that have been going on also for the place.  I have somewhat got lazy about some things here in the household and that is a easy fix at this time.  The bad part is that I have to get off my toush for the place at this time here and get back on track for alot of what has been going on here.  Since some people do not care in how things are out in the "Real World" here I have a fix for myown household at this point in time also.  Gee I guess some are gonna miss all the taxes out of me out in the stores at this time.  Between the coupons that I can print and the sales along with the dollar stores will be breaking out here for the household again it means less taxes are being spent.  Also since I have been cutting the bills down here it also leaves less money for the government here to spend on foolish things.  Now if everyone would look at things like that, things would be better off.  Since alot of folks are so use to spending money just to spend it I get tired of it around the area and all over the place.  Now it is like I remember in why I have cut the power during the peak hours here of the day and other times of the day also here in the place.  Also at this point here I have realized that in why I wanted a fire place for the household while I was at it all.  Ok so I got lucky this year here and got free wood and I will get on my Husbands toush to get what is flapping left here today and next weekend.  With the storm that came up the coast and remembering in what happened at the trailer with the power going out all of the time I fixed a heat source for the place.  Also it will help with the gas bill for the year again for keeping that one low for the household while I am at it.  So yes I am saving money when I can here in the household totally and that is how it will go from now on.  There are many resources out there to help on saving money nomatter what goes on in the world.  What really gets to me here is alot of people are not getting that it is ok to live as you are broke totally at this time.  Alot of folks are going to the cheap side of life to make sure they have enough for the bills and food for the place that they are in now.  As I have told at least one person here do not shop day to day for things at the grocery store since that is what they want you to do anyway.  Shop for the month and it works out better on the budget for the household.  But then again what the heck do I know about running a household since I have been doing this for at least 22 years now. 

Shaking my head

Ok now I can not stand the time changes at all that are going on.  Of course I got up early as normal here and I will have to get use to being in bed for another hour around the household.  It also goes along with the parking out on the streets changing again.  So now here I will be thankfull of the driveway here at the house yet again and parking lots to take my walks also while I am at it.  Now as I sit here and I am still thinking on alot of things for the household it should be ok after I start applying alot of what is in my head here.  All I can say is that I know that I have to cut down even more around here in the household and be done with it all yet again.  With everything switched over to the cheaper end of things here and wandering if I am doing the right thing still.  Even some of the other drivers that my Husband works with at this time started hollering about the loads also that have dryed up.  Since we all have cut down on alot of things for the households and went from there it seems like it is not enough in what us women are doing.  I even caught wind of someone else here who had a bad summer for growing things in her garden also in the area last week.  At this time none of us are starving at all since we will contrive to still put meals on the table no matter what here and get all of the bills paid.  Since several of us do things that others are not willing to do at all around the area to cut the costs of the households it is nuts.  All of us have to think out of the box on alot of things here just to make it.  Also now since the one marathon has been totally canned here in the City it is a good thing since some were just not thinking of the ones who do not have water period nor food.  I hate to say this but dumpster diving for food is nothing new at all around the country.  I have done it along with others in my family that I like and love to put food on the table at one time or another.  It is part of life in my family totally for some of us in how far we all came.  So now at this time some of us are doing in what we can to make it still and it is a learning experiance on all of us.  Even another driver asked my Husband in how we did things here in the place.  My Husband told him that I was the one that used coupons and sales togeather for things in the household to help out along with other things that I was doing also at this time.  It is not as bad as it sounds at all here in my place and my neighbors leave me alone about alot of things that I do at this point in time.  As I told one of the kids next door to me that it all takes time to get cheaper and you are like I am here we have to take baby steps to get things totally done and where we are comfy with it all.  Also it means to get the cheaper things at the stores while we are at it here and now.  So after all said and done I do not blame the girl for coming over to her parents house to eat one meal a day since it is a total pain to cook for one person totally.  I guess this is why I fix so much rice for the household here so I can eat a meal here by myself totally.  Also it means that the rice cookers work over time also while I am at it here during the week for things.  So I do understand when people do not have enough food for the table here since I have been there and done it over 20 years.  It is when people start lieing in what they had growing up that makes me madder than snot.

Looking around

Well I guess that myself and my Husband are lucky here in the house at this point in time.  It does make my Husband wander in what I do all day here when he is not here and he gets a taste of things here when he comes home during the week.  With that being said here there are alot of things that I end up doing for the household to get it all cheaper.  Between shopping and housework here I have learned alot here with the trailer and the house here totally.  With the trailer the power bill was high and the household I ended up with under 45 dollars this month, a huge change here with that part.  At the trailer I would try to get it under a grand for everything and it never worked at all.  Just like for the house at this time it will never work at this point in time also here.  I will get it done somehow here even if it all kills me to do so.  With alot of the prices going up all over the place it gets hard to get on a very hard budget.  When I told some in what I have done over the years they do not believe me at all.  Since I am switching over to the once a month shopping again for the household like I did in the trailer, I have got asked why not shop once a day here.  As I say the once a day shopping is a waste of money totally for the household.  I looked at the gal who asked me that I started laughing since there is enough rice and pasta to choke someone here in my place totally.  There are other things here also for food.  With that being said since I ended up at Wegmans on Sunday for the place and ended up with the boxed mac and cheese for the household for 39 cents per box it was well worth it.  And yes I can expand the 1 box here to have at least 2 meals out of that part of things.  This is why I say that you can get meals for under 5 dollars still to this day here even if the prices are going up all over the place.  This is what some people do not realize here that they can do for the household still to this day.  When I started thinking on some meal plans that I was looking at I was like wait a minute here there can be some tweeking to that part of things depending on where ya live.  I guess this is why I try to get over to places like Aldi and Save A Lot for the house here.  Then there are several other places that I hit up also for food and other things that are needed.  I just do not like paying full price for things here in the household at all.  As I told the one gal last week here she would be better off going to the store with me here so I can show her in what to do to keep the costs low for that end of the household at this point.  Since the gal is up on the internet totally it is not hard to look up recipies at all at this point in time and to get it done on the cheap.  I have so many ways to cook a chicken here that it is not even funny anymore and told the gal that.  It goes along with cheap cuts of meat and the junk that is on sale also at all of the stores.  My Husband started laughing lastnight here when I looked at him off of the one web site and they were saying there is only 20 ways to cook a bird.  I looked at him and said ok there goes the 201 ways that I have and then some at this point in time.  And yes I learned well at the trailer when all the kids would hit my place to see what I was cooking for the day.  That also went along with some people in the park not feeding their kids hardly for a meal.  My question still is what is a small can of what is suppose to be ravioli for 4 kids to eat off of.  Even the CPS worker that hit the trailer asked me what the heck is that and is the gal nuts for that.  I looked at her and said this happends all of the time here for the kids and it seems like the gardian hits my place once a month for a reason after she knew that I was making sauce and chilli at the time.  I will admit that I opened that can of worms for the gal totally for not feeding the kids.  It also went along with that I was bringing in hardly any money also to the trailer at the time or alot less than what the kids gardians were doing.

Wandering

Well yesterday was not to bad here at all.  Ok so the power bill came in and I about fell over once I got the dang thing open here.  Within a month it went down over 120 dollars totally.  So it must have worked in what I have been doing here for the place and myself hollering of course.  Knowing now that it does help to hang laundry along with just keeping things off here in the household it has gave me the hope for this year that I just might get the power bill down to about 35 dollars yet.  When I got told the other night here that I could not cut the budget at all and I started laughing the gal did not see the hummor that I did at all.  Once people realize that when I get told that I can't do something around the house or cut the budget even more than what I have already then I get it all done here.  Knowing what happened while some of us were in school and got told that we would never amount to nothing but a housewife here and that was it well I knew that I had to do something about that part of things.  It is just to bad that some did not realize in all the work that went into being a housewife at all.  Now at this point in time since I have been cutting and slashing on things here in the household at this time the gas bill is next around on the list to be cut down also.  The nice thing about all of this is that during the week it does not matter in what I do to cut things totally down for the household.  It makes it easier since I am alone here and my Husband pretty much now knows in what I have been doing for the household to get the bills down here without him.  Another thing that I have noticed out of the household also is that things are getting cheaper here without even thinking twice about it all.  So now at this point I will be working on at least 3 bills here for the coming months and see where I land up for all 3 to come down here for the place.
